When you encounter a formula error, Gemini can analyze the surrounding data structure to help provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the core issue alongside a corrected version of the formula. The functionality seamlessly supports everything from basic arithmetic to highly intricate calculations, simplifying what is traditionally a frustrating and time-consuming debugging process.\n\n  \n\nSince Gemini is built directly in Sheets, it removes the barrier to writing complex formulas for advanced analysis right where you work. This ensures that both novice users and seasoned data analysts can maintain momentum without having to manually parse error messages or search external forums for solutions.\n\n  \n\n  \n\n[![GIF showing formula fixing functionality](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54O1iuI_zo73h7DxjdUotXnXPCy5QoXjqanpDeLFxBtND8cT1lW5O_3dgdk4ZNug0rcr0mAYb9ZDWq-OUenzTFGq15jOWYytNLNGaRF3v_KdD49a8Qn3Fb-NUYdmObq6mbBQS73HNGvygUWiupJaSmhntyZWp-Oit_8MeZ_B86laurorGaoy1wQMAIBJ8/s16000/Formula%20Fixer.gif)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54O1iuI_zo73h7DxjdUotXnXPCy5QoXjqanpDeLFxBtND8cT1lW5O_3dgdk4ZNug0rcr0mAYb9ZDWq-OUenzTFGq15jOWYytNLNGaRF3v_KdD49a8Qn3Fb-NUYdmObq6mbBQS73HNGvygUWiupJaSmhntyZWp-Oit_8MeZ_B86laurorGaoy1wQMAIBJ8/s2000/Formula%20Fixer.gif)\n\n  \n\n  \n\n### Getting started\n\n- **Admins:** This feature is available by default if [Gemini for Workspace in Sheets](https://knowledge.workspace.google.com/admin/gemini/manage-access-to-gemini-features-in-workspace-services) is enabled.\n- **End users:** You must have [Workspace smart features](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15604322?sjid=17363988672514456782-NA#gw&zippy=%2Csmart-features-in-google-workspace%2Cwhat-are-googles-legal-bases-of-processing-for-users-in-the-european-economic-area-united-kingdom-or-switzerland%2Chow-long-is-your-workspace-content-activity-used-to-provide-smart-features-and-to-improve-these-features) enabled to take advantage of these features.

Beyond replicating the Admin console functionality, the API provides greater flexibility by allowing administrators to transfer specific, individual secondary calendars.\n\n#### **Organization filter**\n\nTo help organizations prepare for the upcoming secondary calendar data lifecycle changes, where secondary calendars will follow the lifecycle of their owner, administrators can now programmatically monitor the ownership status of their users' secondary calendars.\n\n  \n\nA new filtering option will be available in the [CalendarList:list API method](https://developers.google.com/workspace/calendar/api/v3/reference/calendarList/list) that restricts results to return only secondary calendars owned by the organization. When combined with the [users.list method](https://developers.google.com/workspace/admin/directory/reference/rest/v1/users/list) of the Admin SDK API, administrators can retrieve a comprehensive list of organization-owned secondary calendars across their users' calendar lists. The [dataOwner field](https://developers.google.com/workspace/calendar/api/v3/reference/calendars#dataOwner) can then be used to verify current ownership status and make any necessary adjustments.\n\n### Getting started\n\n- **Admins:** There is no admin control for this feature.\n- **End users:** There is no end user setting for this feature.

To support this, Gemini will be able to collaborate with your Google Classroom, using context from your classes to inform its outputs or help complete tasks. For example, educators can get insights on student progress and understanding, create resources and differentiated materials based on Classroom context, or get help drafting posts and assignments.\n\n  \n\nStudents 18 and older can similarly use the Classroom app to stay organized across classes – from getting a list of upcoming assignments, creating study plans, doing test practice based on Classroom content, and staying up-to-date on the latest announcements. Based on your prompts, Gemini will identify when context from Google Classroom will be relevant, and use it to inform its outputs. You can also explicitly tell Gemini to use information from your Google Classroom account by typing, “@Classroom” and clicking on the Classroom app when it pops up.\n\n  \n\n[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REhlZ52hFtE)\n\n  \n\n  \n\nFor example, educators can ask Gemini to:\n\n  \n\n- **Draft communications:** Draft communications and posts based on your Google Classroom information.\n- **Draft differentiated assignments and plans:** Help draft and update assignments, and generate timelines and structured plans, based on information and content from your Google Classroom.\n- **Understand student progress and take action:** Summarize who has submitted assignments, how students have done on prior assignments, and identify where students might need additional teacher support.\n- **Streamline administrative tasks:** Update assignment titles, descriptions, and more across multiple classes in draft mode, make seating charts, and find old assignments.\n\n#### Important notes\n\nGemini Apps can’t perform certain actions in the Google Classroom app, like:\n\n  \n\n- Enter grades or provide private feedback directly\n- Delete, archive, or directly post assignments or announcements (it can post to draft)\n- Create rubrics\n\nThis feature will be available in English for users designated as over the age of 18 who are using a Google Workspace for Education or Business account in Classroom and Gemini. The Classroom app in Gemini does not currently support data regionalization and your usage data may be stored outside of your designated data region. Data region support for the Classroom app in Gemini is expected later this year.\n\n### Getting started\n\n- **Admins:** Access to the Classroom app in Gemini will be ON by default for all Education domains and can be disabled at the OU or group level. For all other domains, access will be OFF by default and can be enabled at the OU or group level.

Once turned on, eligible users will see the “Record” button become a “Notes” button during calls.\n\n  \n\nWhen you tap \"Notes\" during a Voice call, your conversation will be recorded and transcribed, while Gemini captures notes. When you hang up, you'll get an email with your notes in the body of the email. You can then find the transcript, audio recording, and notes saved right inside the Voice app alongside call details.\n\n  \n\n  \n\n[![GIF showing how to tap the ](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hTrROngjhQ3bGfVUPm-HgZkAzZRp12bxfRLTJ_oKI08oxqSAYqj3LhIYrt0OrP6lE1JEO5Cp82CXjxOrnRKSjWlf-mHBBhjiFZznfw-JNRpcM2Bn2VY9KodsuyrBNF7RDQhftMpIYxWhsZfa_Hz-4qPi0VJZ0huxTZ4C_d45Pr6HjVhyBPR10K8dPkwI/w185-h400/Voice%20Note%20Taking%20GIF%201.gif)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hTrROngjhQ3bGfVUPm-HgZkAzZRp12bxfRLTJ_oKI08oxqSAYqj3LhIYrt0OrP6lE1JEO5Cp82CXjxOrnRKSjWlf-mHBBhjiFZznfw-JNRpcM2Bn2VY9KodsuyrBNF7RDQhftMpIYxWhsZfa_Hz-4qPi0VJZ0huxTZ4C_d45Pr6HjVhyBPR10K8dPkwI/s1200/Voice%20Note%20Taking%20GIF%201.gif)\n\n*Tap \"Notes\" on your phone to start recording, transcription, and note-taking*\n\n[![GIF showing notes in Voice app on phone](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK95MlagqfsB1g_vNXizVySbrNhk96P1iVdlkkfEUaRHkYp7cYaG0k1p3eQeCGr1BzwuFeXltnfJcgXGp0AfhtfJhowd1RDR4U8IIe8vHewO8dyIkgj-myKRwsBy6ZWJp5oYn5DJvOlBTn0FRvNDfo8Jn9Q-GEQitv8UYZRqbAKKvIvkvwpg4YctkSW81Q/w185-h400/Voice%20Note%20Taking%20GIF%202.gif)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK95MlagqfsB1g_vNXizVySbrNhk96P1iVdlkkfEUaRHkYp7cYaG0k1p3eQeCGr1BzwuFeXltnfJcgXGp0AfhtfJhowd1RDR4U8IIe8vHewO8dyIkgj-myKRwsBy6ZWJp5oYn5DJvOlBTn0FRvNDfo8Jn9Q-GEQitv8UYZRqbAKKvIvkvwpg4YctkSW81Q/s1200/Voice%20Note%20Taking%20GIF%202.gif)\n\n  \n\n  \n\n*After the call, your notes, recording, and transcription are captured in the Voice app*\n\n  \n\n  \n\n**Privacy, ownership, and consent**\n\n- Post-call notes and transcriptions are strictly accessible only to the individual who initiated the AI capture.

Admins are able to customize the consent in the admin console. Admins can also customize the consent language to align with their company's standards.\n\n*Note that this feature is only available in English at this time.*\n\n### Getting started\n\n- **Admins:** This feature is OFF by default for existing Google Voice customers and can be enabled at the domain, OU, or group level.
